How to Brew: French Press
[embed]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AqGKcEgu0Lc[/embed] Brewing Kauai Sunrise in a French Press is our favorite way to enjoy this morning brew. Follow these simple steps to get the perfect, full-flavored cup and start your day the Kauai way.- Boil 6 cups of filtered water on the stove or with an electric kettle
- While waiting for water to boil, warm the press by pouring a few ounces of hot water into the press and swirl it around. Let the water sit for 30 seconds and then discard.
- Grind 8 heaping tablespoons of whole bean Kauai Sunrise coffee into a coarse texture – similar to Kauai beach sand – not too fine, not too grainy.
- Pour the ground coffee into the press and wait for the water to finish boiling.
- Once the water boils, take it off of the stove or turn off your electric kettle. Allow the water to sit for 20-30 seconds to reach a temperature of about 200 degrees.
- Pour water in circular motion over the grounds until the liquid fills the press half way. Wait 30 seconds, then stir with a wooden spoon to ensure all of the coffee grounds are saturated.
- Immediately pour the rest of the water to almost the top of the press.
- Start timer for 4 minutes and place plunger on top, but do not plunge until the timer goes off.
- After 4 minutes, press the plunger down and serve coffee immediately. The plunger should move easily without too much resistance, and your coffee should be a deep brown color.
